crazychicknladyIt's been raining a lot today. It's still raining. We are very wet, muddy, and cold here. Upside, maybe that will keep the fireworks to a minimum; our dog Pete would sure like that to be the case. He taught himself to be scared of loud booms, after observing our dog Hazel for several years. We're pretty sure he forgot he was faking it a long while back.
S had a bonfire shindig cancelled due to the health of the host, but given this rain it may have ended up cancelled due to weather.
She is, instead, joining the rest of the family at what appears to be becoming an annual tradition of a house filk on New Year's Eve at a particular friend's house.
H has to work, but her shift ends at nine, so she may manage to make it to the shindig for a couple of hours.
We have an out of town friend (K) and an in town friend (A) who are being collected by M to join in the singing and fun.
ETA: I did manage to get H to the party for the last couple of hours.
We had two unexpected additions to the filk. One was an out of town flute player (1/2 of Echo's Children), who ended up giving H some pointers, including the fingering for the beginning of the Star Wars theme. The others, a local couple who used to host the majority of house filks in the area, but had been scarce for at least five years due to health issues. I had gone to their handfasting when pregnant with C, and apparently they just made it legal with the state this past October.
